Today and Tomorrow
Today Richmond Is entertaining the Indiana Municipal League.' Today THE PALLADIUM wishes to express to Richmond's guests the extreme gratification with which the people of this community view their visit. Within the last year many organizations have come to Richmond to hold their meetings. We hope still more will come. We have a lot of pleasure in "the Joy of being Decent and Hospitable." We believe that this is a good town and will be a better one soon. That makes us the happier to ihave you with us. If you know of anything to make this town better YOU ARB CONFERRING THE GREATEST FAVOR ON THIS TOWN BY TELLING IT WHAT YOU THINK. You will also pay us the compliment of considering us open minded and striving for something better if you speak frankly.
AN END TO SKIN TROUBLES
Speaking for ourselves, this paper is particularly interested in the work that you are doing. We believe that thi3 meeting of the Municipal League is one of the most significant that has been or will be held. The presence of Mr. John MaoVicar of Des Moines, means something. His work represents the new force now active in American civic affairs. He is qualified to speak of the, commission form of government. The PALLADIUM knows this because on two occasions it has investigated conditions in Des Moines and has seen Mr. MacVicar's work. What he will have to say will be worth hearing. AND EVERY CITIZEN IN RICHMOND WHO CAN GET AWAY WILL NOT REGRET HAVING HEARD HIM.

Speaking for Richmond we have a common and fellow feeling toward every representative of the other Indiana cities. We know that Indiana Is the greatest state in the Union and is growing better every minute. ' The reason for this is because every city in Indiana is in the Distribution Belt Indiana. The Problem of Distribution Is the greatest factor. It is the largest single item of manufacturing expense today. The position of Indiana will make Indiana cities the great distribution points. That means that they will grow. WITH THE GROWTH OF CITIES COME NEW PROBLEMS OF CITY MANAGEMENT. NO TOWN CAN REACH ITS BEST GROWTH UNLESS IT HAS GOOD MANAGEMENT. That is why every Indiana city has ITS EYES ON THIS CONVENTION. The people of Indiana are just beginning to realize what the future has in store for them. And therefore they ARE BECOMING MORE INTERESTED IN CITY GOVERNMENT.
Action of Poslam l Rapid Easy to Prove What It Will Do. 'To think," says Mr. L. J. Cooper,
North Haven, Conn., "that I have been trying everything (to cure eczema) for fifteen years, and now poslam has done it. The first application stopped all the itching.
When a remedy is available like poslam, which in all skin troubles stops itching and accomplishes cures so rapidly and readily, there is really no reason why such affections should be allowed to go unchecked, particularly as no one is asked to purchase pos
lam -without first obtaining and trying one of the free trial packages. This
will be sent by mail to any one M ho will write to the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West 25th street. New York
City.
While primarily intended for the
treatment of eczema, acne, tetter, bar
ber's and all other forms of itch, etc..
poslam promptly cures all the lesser
skin affections, such as pimples.
blotches, fever blisters, red noses, in
flamed skin, rash, herpes, sunburn,
clears the complexion and keeps the
skin in healthy condition.
A special 50-cent package of poslam
is prepared for minor uses, and thi3, as well as the regular two-dollar jar,
is for sale by all druggists, particular

Children in school even those in the high schools where this custom is most common are there for mental training and discipline, to obtain the fundamentals for character building, and they cannot get them if they have an idea that they are there for dress parade.

Sensible School Dress, From the Omaha Bee.
Something ought to be done to dis
courage this foolish and unwise habit
many school girls have of trying to outdo each other in the matter of
dress. Some of them look as if they
might be gowned for an elaborate so
cial function, and the attention devoted to dress cannot help but detract from their learning, to say nothing of
the unhappy and uncomfortable con trast it sets up against children un able to match them.
It goes without saying that the
teachers cannot handle this problem
unless they have the 'cooperation of
the parents, but an effort should be
mado in cities where this silly habit prevails and that means most cities -to overcome It . Over dressing of

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The reactionary leader in the duma
proclaimed "the end of Finland" when the bill taking away the province's self-government was passed. He did not proclaim the worthlessness of cor

The action made that clear.

W. C. Day, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, has at last discovered the second of the historic howitzers, the cannon presented to the Republic of Texas in provincial days. A letter from General William Crazier, chief of ordinance, conveyed the information that this historic old Texas cannon is now mounted in front of the war department building at Washington.

Trespassing on railroad property in violation of the law has caused the deaths of more than fifty thousand people in the United States in the last eleven years. In this same period more than 55,000 trespassers have been injured.

EDWARD FAYSON WESTON. What would you thiuk of a man who should deliberately start out at the age of seventy-two years to walk across this continent in ninety days? Crazy? No, certainly not, for he accomplished the task in only seventy-eight days. And this same courageous veteran had . already walked across North America In the other direction in about 100 days. The first trip was made through storms and bad weather and much difficulty. The old gentleman was not satisfied with the record, so he turned around at Los Angeles and started back to New York city. How many men in the prime of life would be able to go forty-fire miles a day for even a week? But Edward Payson Weston, who performed the great feat, being interviewed, says: . "Had I been forty-five instead of seventy-two I would have walked the 3.500 miles from Los Angeles to New York in sixty days instead of seventyeight days." There is little doubt of if. No man can hope to live to the age of seventy-two. much less do great walking stunts, who dissipates his vitality by incorrect habits of life. Late hours, the use of stimulants, debilitating indulgences these take men off before they reach the Scriptural limit of threescore and ten. Correct living includes much besides abstinence from liquors. . Manr a man is violently intemperate jin bis eating or he may be intemperate In his indulgence of auger or of envy or of worry. Shakespeare said care killed a cat He meant worry, anxiety. Westou stands for moderation. This grand old fellow governs not
merely his physical appetites. He keeps a mind free from corroding fears and carping hatreds. He envies
no man's estate. His heart is free
from guile. Let us learn the lesson.
Let us put away not only the grosser
appetites of the body, but also the de
grading habits, the useless indul
gences. the evlt thoughts and feeling
that shorten our lives,

Christian Endeavor Among Indians.
While Dr. Clark was in Spokane, Wash., on his way home from India he was visited by Peter F. Corbett, a highly educated Nez Perce Indian, whe is prominent among the ranchers or northern Idaho and is identified with the state bank of Kamiah. He told Dr. Clark that more than 500 Indians on the Nez Perce reservation belong to the Christian Endeavor society. In the town of Kamiah there are ninety-five members. A peculiar feature of the situation is that the members almost ali are the older pec-
l pie of the tribe. There are six Pres
byterian churches on the reservation, and the work is ptogressing an th time.

new books, a fountain of youth. They never age, because humor, kindliness, and truth never grow old. Mark Twain himself wrote a preface to this edition. Brander Matthews has written the biographical criticism of Mark Twain and his work. There are portraits of the author from photographs and paintings taken at periods when the different books were in process of writing. This edition includes his later collected writings, such as " Eve's Diary," etc., etc.
Brander Matthews says: "Mark Twain will be included in that group of writers headed by Molitre and Cervantes. With the exception of Count Tolstoi, Twain -was the greatest of recent modern writers and will be handed down to posterity through the trio of his works
'Huckleberry Finn,' 'Tom Sawyer,' and Puddnhead Wilson. Twain is a greater stylist - i. - a-
than Stevenson or Thoreau, and his 'Man that Corrupted Haaieyourg is one oi me
finest works in English literature."
